The PhD position is available at the Department of Medical Biology on the project “The role of endothelial fenestrations in health, disease and ageing”. It is affiliated with the Vascular Biology Research Group (VBRG) at the Faculty of Health Sciences and will be based at UiT in Tromsø. The role will last four years, with the first three years dedicated to research and the fourth year distributed as 25 % teaching and other duties. The programme requires admission to the PhD programme, which begins with the position.
The successful candidate will work on the project titled “Targeting endothelial fenestrations for healthy ageing”. The project aims to establish how ageing affects endothelial fenestrations and the underlying mechanisms in order to provide fundamental insights into endothelial ageing and pave the way for interventions that target microvascular health. Key duties include: advanced microscopy and imaging (super...
